My son stepped on the open 2000 after I installed a new rom and I don't know what kind of connector they used ..... it goes in sideways you straighten it up and two metal clips snap it in to place... there a million connectors I was wonder ing if some one knew what and where I could get a replacement connector........ the rom is in socket 1 now and the machine works fine no damage to the rom.
